I screen my calls. You have to nowadays, and if it comes up on my caller ID and I do not recognise who it is coming from, it's off to the answering machine with it. These folks didn't bother to leave a message, so it couldn't have been all that important. Just aggrivates me and wastes space on my answering machine, not to mention I hate sitting there with the phone ringing and ringing before it gets to the machine, waiting for the caller to leave a message and they just hang up. Out of morbid curiousity, even though I have nothing but disdain for telemarketers, I do like to know why and for what they are calling.

2/9/08 @ 6:20p.m. Decided to answer it this time, just out of curiousity. The man on the other end was trying to call some kind of music store. I told him that this was a residential number. He then asked me if a "Ben" or "Benny" was here. I told him there is no one here by that name, he asked if I was sure, I told him, "Well, duh! This is my house and the last time I checked my husband didn't have that name nor did my 3 young children whom I did name at thier births." He hung up after that. Still trying to figure out from where is this call coming from. Strange caller ID listing.
